1 00:00:05,349 --> 00:00:03,669 a little over two hours ago as uh the 2 00:00:06,869 --> 00:00:05,359 crew members began their final 3 00:00:09,030 --> 00:00:06,879 preparations uh 4 00:00:11,749 --> 00:00:09,040 for uh the soyuz vehicle and its 5 00:00:14,390 --> 00:00:11,759 upcoming undocking they had a moment to 6 00:00:16,790 --> 00:00:14,400 gather at the hatchway to the soyuz 7 00:00:18,870 --> 00:00:16,800 spacecraft in the poisk module again the 8 00:00:22,710 --> 00:00:18,880 module to which the 9 00:00:25,269 --> 00:00:22,720 soyuz tma-04m docked back on may 17th 10 00:00:27,269 --> 00:00:25,279 the poisk module is the space facing 11 00:00:30,150 --> 00:00:27,279 module and docking port 12 00:00:32,549 --> 00:00:30,160 on the zvezda service module suni 13 00:00:36,310 --> 00:00:32,559 williams and malenchenko and hoshide 14 00:00:38,709 --> 00:00:36,320 their soyuz vehicle the o5m spacecraft 15 00:00:41,190 --> 00:00:38,719 is docked to the rassvet module on the 16 00:00:43,750 --> 00:00:41,200 earth-facing side of the russian segment 17 00:00:44,869 --> 00:00:43,760 of the international space station 18 00:00:46,950 --> 00:00:44,879 but 19 00:00:49,750 --> 00:00:46,960 about two hours ago the crew members had 20 00:00:52,709 --> 00:00:49,760 an opportunity to say farewell to one 21 00:00:54,549 --> 00:00:52,719 another so let's uh let's roll that tape

view those 28 00:01:35,190 --> 00:01:32,479 particles you see were identified by the 29 00:01:37,510 --> 00:01:35,200 environmental systems officer as dust 30 00:01:38,789 --> 00:01:37,520 particles that's not uncommon it's just 31 00:01:41,270 --> 00:01:38,799 that the light 32 00:01:43,910 --> 00:01:41,280 in the module at this time 33 00:01:45,910 --> 00:01:43,920 illuminated those dust particles you see 34 00:01:47,670 --> 00:01:45,920 the off-going commander padalka hugging 35 00:01:49,590 --> 00:01:47,680 the new commander of the space station 36 00:01:52,230 --> 00:01:49,600 suni williams who 37 00:01:53,830 --> 00:01:52,240 will along with her crewmates have 38 00:01:56,709 --> 00:01:53,840 control of the international space 39 00:01:59,270 --> 00:01:56,719 station until they come home on november 40 00:02:01,590 --> 00:01:59,280 12th padalka waving goodbye the crew 41 00:02:04,469 --> 00:02:01,600 actually entered the soyuz vehicle to 42 00:02:07,109 --> 00:02:04,479 begin a series of switch configurations 43 00:02:26,309 --> 00:02:07,119 uh in advance of the actual closing of 44 00:02:31,350 --> 00:02:29,510 this view now from a camera on the soyuz 45 00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:31,360 vehicle you can see the crosshair 46 00:02:36,150 --> 00:02:33,920 docking target on the right side of the 47 00:02:37,270 --> 00:02:36,160 screen 48 00:02:38,949 --> 00:02:37,280 providing 49 00:02:40,470 --> 00:02:38,959 informational data for the russian 50 00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:40,480 flight controllers 51 00:02:46,869 --> 00:02:42,720 as they will watch the soyuz back away 52 00:02:54,949 --> 00:02:48,630 about one minute away from physical 53 00:02:58,869 --> 00:02:56,470 and we confirm 54 00:03:00,710 --> 00:02:58,879 that the screen 55 00:03:02,470 --> 00:03:00,720 is off 56 00:03:07,350 --> 00:03:02,480 the international space station flying 57 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:18,070 skirting up the east coast of africa 58 00:03:22,949 --> 00:03:20,229 we see it on the trainer so now we're 59 00:03:28,949 --> 00:03:22,959 going to restart so we can see the ss 60 00:03:33,589 --> 00:03:31,670 padalka revan and acaba launched on a 61 00:03:35,670 --> 00:03:33,599 warm sunny morning from the baikonur 62 00:03:37,110 --> 00:03:35,680 cosmodrome in kazakhstan back on may 63 00:03:38,550 --> 00:03:37,120 15th 64 00:03:40,470 --> 00:03:38,560 arrived at the international space 65 00:03:43,509 --> 00:03:40,480 station two days later 66 00:03:46,550 --> 00:03:43,519 now about to depart for the final time 67 00:03:47,910 --> 00:03:46,560 physical separation confirmed the ss 68 00:03:50,229 --> 00:03:47,920 repair mode 69 00:03:51,670 --> 00:03:50,239 has been restarted so you should see it 70 00:03:55,190 --> 00:03:51,680 on the camera 71 00:04:06,869 --> 00:03:55,200 undocking occurring on time at 609 pm 72 00:04:10,070 --> 00:04:08,390 now we can see 73 00:04:12,149 --> 00:04:10,080 the brightness 74 00:04:15,190 --> 00:04:12,159 now we can see the target very well do 75 00:04:17,270 --> 00:04:15,200 you see any foreign objects 76 00:04:19,189 --> 00:04:17,280 on the interface so the docking 77 00:04:39,430 --> 00:04:19,199 mechanism we do not see it through the 78 00:04:43,350 --> 00:04:42,550 are we selecting the narrow lens we tend 79 00:04:44,550 --> 00:04:43,360 to 80 00:04:47,110 --> 00:04:44,560 see 81 00:04:55,670 --> 00:04:47,120 the target very well gennady you need to 82 00:05:00,469 --> 00:04:57,430 slowly backing away from the poisk 83 00:05:02,070 --> 00:05:00,479 module at a rate of about one-tenth 84 00:05:03,830 --> 00:05:02,080 of a meter per second activate the 85 00:05:05,510 --> 00:05:03,840 brightness before we send the command 86 00:05:06,870 --> 00:05:05,520 for the special lens 87 00:05:09,270 --> 00:05:06,880 two minutes from now there'll be a 88 00:05:11,110 --> 00:05:09,280 separation burn of 15-second firing of 89 00:05:13,189 --> 00:05:11,120 the soyuz engines to increase the 90 00:05:15,670 --> 00:05:13,199 opening rate 91 00:05:18,629 --> 00:05:15,680 so we have selected the narrow angle 92 00:05:26,150 --> 00:05:18,639 lens now we can see the picture on the 93 00:05:33,029 --> 00:05:28,150 we can see all the structural elements 94 00:05:38,550 --> 00:05:35,270 we have selected 95 00:05:40,790 --> 00:05:38,560 copy expedition 33 now has officially 96 00:05:42,790 --> 00:05:40,800 begun under the command of suni williams 97 00:05:45,110 --> 00:05:42,800 joined by yuri malenchenko and aki 98 00:05:47,270 --> 00:05:45,120 hoshide aboard the

do not see the target any longer 102 00:06:04,390 --> 00:05:57,680 so it's difficult for us to judge where 103 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:23,510 i can see the antennae 104 00:06:28,710 --> 00:06:26,550 standing by for the separation burn 105 00:06:29,590 --> 00:06:28,720 this will be a uh 106 00:06:31,909 --> 00:06:29,600 now 107 00:06:34,150 --> 00:06:31,919 half a meter per second 108 00:06:36,070 --> 00:06:34,160 change in velocity again a 15 second 109 00:06:37,990 --> 00:06:36,080 burn of the soyuz engines that will 110 00:06:39,909 --> 00:06:38,000 enable the soyuz to drift away from the 111 00:06:42,070 --> 00:06:39,919 international space station to an 112 00:06:45,270 --> 00:06:42,080 eventual distance of 12 kilometers for 113 00:06:48,950 --> 00:06:45,280 the deorbit burn that is scheduled at 8 114 00:06:50,469 --> 00:06:48,960 56 pm central time and the separation 115 00:06:58,309 --> 00:06:50,479 burn is underway confirmed by the 116 00:07:03,909 --> 00:07:01,749 padalka
